SUBJECT:
Sportage Front Hub Seal Change
This bulletin provides information on a change to Sportage 4WD hub seals. To improve hub vacuum sealing during 4WD operation, a new inner seal
along with corresponding revisions to knuckles and CV shafts has been developed. This new seal design was incorporated from 10/21/00 production.
To service earlier 1998-2001 vehicles (prior to 10/21/00 production) that experience inner seal problems, a service kit is available to retrofit the new
seal.
Use the procedures in this bulletin to install the service kit.
AFFECTED PRODUCTION RANGE:
1998, 1999, 2000 and some 2001 MY Sportage 4WD models with production dates between 9/1/97 and 10/21/00.
